Can laxatives assist with weight loss?

Yes they help you lose weight because you’re purging things from your body and therefore losing mass. However, using such things to lose weight are easy gateways into anorexia which can be lethal. Laxatives also typically cause you to have diarrhea and thereby purge far more quantities of water than your body should. This can result in dehydration and a number of other health risks. Lastly, laxatives have been proven to damage your intestines. While irregular is typically safe, regular use can be dangerous. Your body may not be able to recover/repair from the damage(s) the laxative causes and leave you with permanent ailments. So if you still want to use laxatives to lose weight consider one last thing. You will not be losing any weight that is noticeable visibly. So while you may step on the scale afterward and notice you lost a pound or so, you will still look the same and have just damaged your body.
